As she was at school last week, Acacia went Trick-or-Treating as a gypsy. Trouble is, she hasn't really seen any "real" gypsies (not even Esmeralda in "Hunchback"), so she was kind of faking it. She pinned a bunch of little jingle bells all over her skirt, and that made it special. I told her that she should be wearing the scarf on her head, not tied around her hair, and she loved the idea, and that helped.
Geneva didn't have any ideas this year, and it's tough on an eighth grader, 'cuz they're so self-conscious. But I got down my old "Sergeant Pepper" jacket, and she went for it. A little red duct tape down the pants, and she was all set. She probably should have kept her hair down, but I guess she decided she looked like a girl, rather than a hipppie, that way. We wish we'd'a had a brass instrument of some kind for her to carry, but she made do with a borrowed pair of drumsticks.
